Top EC Droppers

Although I have not been blogging for a while, I have tried to keep up with my EC drops.
This summer has proven quite busy for me--I am teaching a few courses, finishing and starting new writing projects and driving my boys all around town to the beach, camp, malls, restaurants, parties and pools--and there is still much more to come.

Everyday is just another day in paradise...no complaints here!

I thank everyone for continuing to visit and drop.
In particular I thank the following 10 EC droppers who have been
consistently loyal.

Preparing for a Sun Dance

After experiencing months of very dry weather and very little rain, I admit I often prayed for rain. My garden, grass and trees suffered through months of drought and water restrictions. I guess many others in South Florida also prayed for rain along with me because for the past few weeks the rain has poured from the sky every day flooding streets and highways creating havoc on the roads. Last night at around 2:00 am, I awoke to the loud bombs dropping outside my window and to flashes of light that illuminated my darkened room. Exhaustion finally triumphed and I drifted back to sleep only to awaken to a beautiful golden day. Unfortunately, the blue skies soon gave way to the dark clouds and the rumbling and lightening by early afternoon.

Restaurants and hotels on Miami Beach flooded on Friday and I can only imagine what the area must look like today. The rain continues and next week's forecast: expect rain every day. Instead of a rain dance, I propose a sun dance for the coming days and ask that every Floridian join me. My green grass, coconut trees and my son's newly planted vegetable garden greatly appreciate all the rain, for their thirst has been quenched but now they request a little vitamin D.

Take a look for yourself.
